    Out of the Wreckage

    This collection of 47 parables and “flash fictions” can be
    described as follows: The dream-like; the waking fantasy; the reverie;
    the parable that instructs; the story that informs; the story that
    provokes the underbelly of consciousness; the story that becomes a slip
    of the mind; the story that registers alarm; the story that registers
    ease; the dream that illuminates the waking eye; the dream that gives
    voice to the silenced tongue; the dream that brings shivers; the dream
    that brings orgasm; the parable that offers a path out of the dark
    confusion of crisis; the dream that is light as a laugh; the dream that
    saves the dreamer.
